About this cottage rental

If you are looking for a remote, yet well-located retreat, this gorgeous, cedar-shingled Cape Breton cottage is perfect for a memorable getaway. It is perched high above the ocean with epic views and sea sounds. These are some of the most spectacular vistas in all of Cape Breton: endless ocean, beach and Sea Wolf Island (framed perfectly, as if for your personal pleasure!) You don't just enjoy the views- you hear the ocean beside you, lapping at the rocks below, sometimes crashing; it's almost hypnotizing. Check our short video in the "Photos" section.

In the cottage, summer evenings are cool –great for sleeping– often with brilliant sunsets. Outside, the large deck with its lovely cascading stairs, is positioned perfectly for spotting lobster boats, eagles, moose, bobcats, and the whales which pass by most of the year, and from where you’ll catch dramatic sunsets and panoramic views. Beaches? Hiking? Fine Dining? Music? All close at hand…

TumbleSea cottage changes over on Fridays. Charming and comfortable, the open-plan living space features beams and vaulting ceilings that lend it a bright and airy feel, with a fully equipped kitchen and dining area surrounded by windows for spectacular views. Finished with both rustic and contemporary furnishings and decor, the cottage is welcoming and homey, with one cozy bedroom for two.

There’s all the kitchen equipment you need to prepare a feast from local specialties. You will love the supple leather couch in the living room, which is the perfect spot for connecting with friends, (which is easier than ever, with a fast fibre op internet/ wifi connection).

Dig into a good book, or just enjoy the view. You can watch storms develop on the horizon, and play themselves out before they ever reach you. As evening turns to night, relax and take in the starry night skies, and steady cadence of the flashing light of the island lighthouse.

This cottage changes over on Fridays only. If your preferred weeks happen to be booked, please check our other lovely oceanside cottages: #203860, #382569, #3490361 #277105 #2599594 (Although the cancellation policy lists "no refunds," there ARE refunds–it is just that our policy did not fall within VRBO's categories.)

Nestled amongst trees, roses and the water, TumbleSea cottage offers complete privacy, complete comfort, and an unforgettable week. All this on a beautiful property with spring-fed brooks, just minutes from three great beaches and the Cabot Trail, a half hour from the National Park; less than thirty minutes north of the cottage, the Park has an extensive network of hiking trails, including the Skyline Trail that overlooks the Gulf, as well as dramatic waterfalls, rivers and highlands.

TumbleSea is just twenty minutes from two of the world’s finest golf courses at Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs (respectively ranked by Golf Digest at #39 and #10 in the world). There are also great restaurants and music venues within 30 minutes.

This beautiful cottage on the edge of the sea makes you feel relaxed and peaceful. If you can't unwind here "go home". The views and sounds are excellent and the owner was very helpful in providing information on the area. We will definitely be back.

We returned from our stay at Tumble Sea Cottage just yesterday and we miss it already. The cottage was more than we expected. The view of the ocean from the main living space and deck is spectacular and falling asleep to the waves and sea breeze nothing short of amazing. Check in was seamless and our host was knowledgable and very helpful getting us settled in. The cottage was well appointed with everything you need for an extended stay. We loved seeing the eagles soaring overhead and listening to the playful red squirrels darting from tree to tree in the morning. We stayed a week and would have stayed forever if we could. Stewart, thank you for sharing this little piece of heaven with us.

All we can say is WOW! This home is spectacular! The views, the serenity, the comfort and coziness - all wonderful. And the sunsets are amazing! The cottage is elegantly simple, very comfortable, immaculate and has a peaceful, happy and welcoming energy. When we weren’t out sightseeing or hiking, we spent a lot of time on the deck enjoying the sunsets and surrounding beauty. The kitchen had everything we needed for meal prep and the bathroom was well-stocked with supplies. Our host, Stewart, was very helpful and shared a ton of great information about the surrounding area, things to do and see, restaurants, etc. He was very responsive and accommodating. We sincerely hope to be back someday soon!

TumbleSea was unquestionably the finest Vrbo rental we've experienced thus far. Nestled in a charming location with a captivating view of the water, the cottage provided us with endless enchantment as we relaxed on the deck or in the cottage, gazing at the water and the sky. The cottage itself was impeccably clean and exuded a warm, cozy ambiance. What truly set our stay apart was Stuart's exceptional attentiveness to our comfort and overall experience on this beautiful island. His meticulous directions to the cottage were so well-written that we easily located the property late at night, despite the darkness and the looming Hurricane Lee (thankfully reduced to a storm by the time we arrived). Stuart also generously offered superb recommendations for things to do and see on the island. For outdoor enthusiasts, the numerous breathtaking trails in the area are a must-explore. Highlands National Park is very close and the Cabot Trail just a few minutes away. Moreover, the local seafood scene was truly outstanding! The cottage's well-stocked kitchen provided us with all the essential utensils for preparing breakfast, along with a diverse assortment of basic spices and supplies to suit our needs. Cape Breton has completely won us over, and we would eagerly choose to stay at TumbleSea again without hesitation. We wholeheartedly endorse this rental – it's an absolute gem!

Did you ever walk into your accommodations and drop your jaw and high five your mate. This cottage is a total score. Its located equally between the National Park and world class golf at Inverness. Two thumbs up! The proprietor is very nice, easy going and very helpful in terms of points of interest. You would be hard pressed to do better.

Truly heaven on earth! Stewart was an excellent host. He shared the best hikes, restaurants, and local events to visit while we were on vacation. The house was beautiful, clean with spectacular views. We look forward to coming back soon.

The photos tell the story — a cosy and comfortable cottage in a great setting. Good for anyone looking for "ocean" proximity and privacy. The place is very thoughtfully appointed and comfortable although there were a few components which we felt needed replacement because of evident wear or functionality (eg. the bedroom dresser, the "back" door, the rusted lounger chairs). These weren't deal breakers but considering the price point, such improvements would give it a notable refresh. The main downside is not the cottage itself but how far away Cape Breton is relative to large East coast cities. (If we were to do it again, we'd fly in and rent a car.)
